“U.S. Special Forces Thrown Out of Libya After Secret Mission Revealed”

Were they “forced” to leave all their weapons behind again?

This is only second to the Obama press conference where he was stating what kind of terror attacks we can’t stop.

No leak. Just SF has a hard time blending in, in certain environments. Locals post photos on FB page like everyone else. From there it is a matter of time.

Unbelievable!

Judging from the poor disguises, they didn't try very hard to be "covert."

Good call!

There was a NYT article about a week ago that the DoD is proposing new bases around the world for a long term fight against militant Islam (of course they didn’t call it militant Islam). The Pentagon wants a string of bases in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. This Libya operation may or may not be directly connected but it does show Obama is already wanting to advertise Special Ops missions and locations overseas. I’m pretty sure we are not going to be welcome in any of the sovereign countries that were mentioned.

“Obama is already wanting to advertise Special Ops missions and locations overseas. I’m pretty sure we are not going to be welcome in any of the sovereign countries that were mentioned.”

When he does crap like this, these specops are put into the social media and their missions and they are in danger.

It ceased being a secret mission when Obola spilled his guts about it a month ago. Why else would the muslim suits be waiting for them at the airport? It would not surprise me if Obole called his ISIS buds on the phone and left them know the troops were enroute. NOTHING is too low for THAT sorry specimen, in my mind.
